Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
The prevalence of diverticulosis is age-dependent, increasing from less than 20% at age 40 to 60% by age 60. The mean age at admission for acute diverticulitis is 63 years.[1][2]
Incidence=
The incidence of diverticulitis is increasing.The largest increase was in patients aged 18 to 44 years.[3]
Case fatality rate
Age
The prevalence of diverticulitis increases with age.
Gender
- Men under 50 are more commonly affected by diverticulitis.
- Men and women aged 50-70 are equally affected by diverticulitis.[4]
- Men aged greater than 70 are more affected by diverticulitis.[5][6]
Race
There is no racial predilection for diverticulitis.
Developed countries
The prevalence and incidence of diverticulitis has significantly increased in developed countries that consume a lot of westernized food that is poor in fiber. For example Japan has experienced an increase in the prevalence of right-sided diverticulosis similar to the increase in left-sided diverticula in westernized countries.[7][8]
Developing countries
